Mythic Legions Tactics - Monthly Update: Mar 22
over 2 years ago – Wed, Mar 09, 2022 at 04:23:26 PM

Hello Backers,

Hope everyone is ready for some great updates! As we indicated from last week, we are updating a progress bar on the game’s development. We are officially more than halfway done!

Update Summary

• Intern For A Day
• Physical Figures Update 
• Game Development Update
• Game Characters and Armor

Physical Figure Update

Manufacturing is going well, and we have started to get more of an idea on dates now. We are now starting to plan out the schedule for the shipping and shipping fees for everyone. Stay tuned for more information, and we will be reaching out to everyone individually with more info around this over the next few months to make sure everyone gets their full order!

Intern For A Day

For those of you who are joining us at 4H Studios on April 2nd, we can’t wait to see you! If anyone has any questions about the time, date, or location for the Intern For A Day reward from the campaign please contact us at [email protected]  See you soon!

Game Development Update

Now that we are over halfway done, we are going to start sharing a little more detail. First, we have spent a considerable amount of time on the tactics engine, the on server AI, and the story scenes.

For the tactics engine, we have been adding in features to make sure that players can go to multiple levels, use action points to jump over certain obstacles, and checkout larger areas of the levels.

For the server AI, we have been focusing on making sure that our behavior trees have the options for each class’s skills. Making a good AI is a key component of making a tactics game great to play!

The story scenes are coming along nicely! We don’t want to show too much of them so that you can enjoy them more when you see them in game, but here are a few peeks 😊

Game Characters and Armor

As always here are some cool characters and armor!

Oh, and if you are reading this far then just letting you know that we have an exciting announcement next month... Sorry to leave the cryptic statement, but you will see why next month! As always stay safe in these difficult times, and thank you all for your continued support!

Best,

Mythic Legions Tactics - Monthly Update: Feb 22
almost 3 years ago – Mon, Feb 07, 2022 at 01:45:53 AM

Hello Backers,

Hope everyone is surviving the crazy weather! To help everyone start seeing where we are progress wise, we will be including a progress bar per update. See below!

Game Dev Progress Bar

Update Summary

• Kickstarter vs Backerkit Payment Info
• Physical Figures Update 
• Game Development Update
• Game Armor

Kickstarter vs Backerkit Payment Info

We would like to start off this update by trying to clear up some confusion between Kickstarter and Backerkit. While Kickstarter is the platform we used to fund the public crowdfunding project, Backerkit is where we are managing the backers, shipping, and delivery of everything within the project. They are sometimes thought of as the same service, but they are in fact two separate services. Since we are using Backerkit to manage everyone’s orders, we are also using it to manage all shipping which is why Backerkit may be asking some of you to enter your payment information there even if you have entered it into Kickstarter. We are sorry for this confusion and not explaining this better to everyone, and we hope this explanation makes more sense. If not please reach out to directly at [email protected].

Physical Figure Update

Wish we had more information on this, but the figures are still in the manufacturing process. We hope to have a lot of additional information on this for everyone in next month’s update!

Game Development Update

We are about 46% complete with the game based on our overall tasks to complete. We have made significant progress on every aspect of the game and look forward to start showing you more and more over the next couple of months. As we stated on the last update, we are still in the main core programming for the engine, backend servers, and multiplayer.  See some of the images below for progress on levels, story scenes, and characters!

Game Armor

As always here are some cool weapons and armor!

We look forward to showing everyone significantly more over the next few months. Again, stay safe in these difficult times, and thank you all for your continued support!

Best,

Mythic Legions Tactics - Monthly Update: Jan 22
almost 3 years ago – Thu, Jan 06, 2022 at 11:14:38 AM

Hello Backers,

Happy New Years! We hope everyone had a great December Holidays and New Year! Due to break, our updates are more informative than anything, but we are excited about the games overall progress. See below!

Update Summary

• Backerkit Shipping
• Physical Figures Update
• Game Development Update
• Game Armor

Backerkit Shipping

First let us apologize to everyone who got an email from Backerkit about needing to put payment information into Backerkit for the shipping cost in the future. Apparently, the feature we are using for charging shipping later is relatively new, and they accidently sent an email out to everyone before we are even close to shipping and to people who have their payment information already in the system. While it is important for everyone to put in their payment information for shipping, it is not necessary until we are within 30 days of shipping out the figures. See the update below for more details!

Physical Figure Update

Some good news here, the figures have been submitted to the manufacturer to start! They are still in the early processing phases at the moment, so we don’t have the final schedule yet. Once we do, we will provide everyone with estimated times for shipping and delivery!

Game Development Update - 38% Completed!

Over the past few months, we have been focused on all of the hardcore engine programming. This includes the tactics engine, AI, attacks, special attacks, animations, classes, etc… We are nearing the completion of most of this programming now and are now working on integrating all of these with the online servers for progress saving, character customization, and multiplayer. While this is more backend work, we anticipate this taking another few months before all the main core programming is completed. This will allow us to start doing builds and showing more in-game footage. I know everyone wants to see more of this, as do we, but now that we are nearing the end of the main programming, we are close to that stage. We look forward to showing you more complete game footage soon!

Game Armor

As always here are some cool armors!

Well, that’s it for this update. However, we would also like to let everyone know that we hope that you all stay safe in these difficult times. Have a happy and safe Jan 2022 and thank you all for your continued support!

Best,

Great Hall Game Studios

Mythic Legions Tactics - Monthly Update: Dec 21
almost 3 years ago – Sat, Dec 04, 2021 at 12:22:59 AM

Hello Backers,

Hope everyone had a good November. We have several amazing updates and can’t wait for even more in the New Year. See below!

Update Summary

• Backerkit Survey
• Intern For A Day 
• Game Development Update
• Game Weapons and Armor
• Game Locations

Backerkit Survey

We still have a few people who have not filled out their backerkit survey. Please complete this when you can as we will need to get everyone’s shipping address confirmed to be able to send out all physical items in the new year!

Intern For A Day

For those of you who joined us at 4H studios, we hope you had as much fun as we did! Just wanted to send a shout out to all of you, and say thank you. It was great talking and meeting each of you. Looking forward to more great times in the future!

Game Development Update

We have finished the full mapping out of all game locations, story elements, and characters. While we continue to make progress on each of those, we have been focusing on the quality of the game from a programming standpoint. Most of this last month has been optimizing the tactics engine for PC, Console, and Mobile platforms. On top of that we have been working through the Battle Templates and how the AI will work in the various scenarios. Again, mostly back end things, but these are the nuts and bolts of game development. We will be able to start really showing more game dev progress through images and videos in the next few months.

Game Weapons and Armor

As always here are some cool weapons and armor!

Game Locations

Here are some work in progress locations such as Aetherhold exterior and interiors and Castle of Four Sides exteriors.

Well, that’s it for this monthly update. We hope everyone has a great month of Dec if you do or do not celebrate the holidays. Thank you all for your continued support, and check out the discord for more weekly updates!

Best,

Great Hall Game Studios

Mythic Legions Tactics - Monthly Update: Nov 21
about 3 years ago – Fri, Nov 05, 2021 at 12:52:37 AM

Hello Backers,

Wow it has already been another month! We have some great updates for you and are making good progress on both production of the physical items and the video game. See below!

Update Summary

• Backerkit Survey
• Game Character Linage
• Game Story Update
• Game Development Update
• Game Weapons and Armor

Backerkit Survey

Hopefully everyone has completed their Backerkit survey by now. We are in the process of sending all physical goods into production right now, so if you are one of the few that has not completed your survey please do so asap!

Game Character Lineage Update

On our last update, we let everyone know that there would be male and female versions of all 7 playable lineages. We have one change to this update in that we will not be making a female Goblin character for launch of the game. This is for a few reasons, but mainly that the action figure line doesn’t currently have one, and until it can be flushed out including design, armor, and weapons available it seems like one of the least playable characters. If there is a disagreement from the community on this please let us know, but no one seems to be asking for a female Goblin character 😊

Regardless, here are some images of the Male Dwarf and Female Orc!

Game Story Update

We are close to completing the 5 storylines for the single player game. As we indicated in the campaign, there are 5 concurrent storylines going on that all each at least 30 battles each. These storylines are for 5 of the factions:

• Xylona’s Flock
• Legion of Arethyr
• Army of Leodysseus
• House of the Noble Bear
• Illythia’s Brood

Through additional updates, we will be showing more of these stories and sharing how the stories are all intertwined. Since as a player you will be able to play both the good side and evil side of the same story, you will be able to get unique perspectives from each.

Here are some images of In Progress Work for Ironhold and Castle of Four Sides

Game Development Update

Most of the development at this point in the game is all about organizing assets that need to be made, code, programming, and backend setup to make sure everything can work for the final product. We have started the server side syncing of character saving and data, saving of customizations, and battle progress saving. Not to say that it is all boring stuff, but there are less things to actually show at this point than in future updates. One big note here is that we are working on the final UI design for all in battle menus as well as the customizer.  This is no where near final but want to keep showing everyone our progress!

Game Weapons and Armor

Again, not much to talk about here. Going to just show some cool weapons and armor!

Well, that is the update for now! In these early stages there are less things to show, but as we progress we will have a lot more to start sharing that will look forward to showing you all! Thank you all for your continued support, and looking forward to seeing everyone at the Intern For A Day event and LegionsCon!

Best,

Great Hall Game Studios
